Whats New In Social Media?

Whats new in Social Media this week. Answer: Lots :-)

The thing with Social Media is that it never stops changing. I guess that is what happens with things social.

Here is Wikipedia’s take on Social Media:

Distinction from industrial media

Businesses may refer to social media as consumer-generated media (CGM). A common thread running through all definitions of social media is a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value.[citation needed]

So I guess we take from that is if Social Interaction is happening then we are going to be in for an ever changing road ahead.

Here are some things that I have picked up over the week I hope you enjoy the different writers I have for you. Each title gives you a snippet of what the article is about so click on the links to see whole article.

What’s new in Social Media? – New Facebook Timeline for New Zealand

There is actually so many new things I am finding it hard to keep up, one other new thing that has happened in my country New Zealand is the Facebook has rolled out the Timeline here to the whole country. That’s pretty exciting it was decided that we are a big enough small enough country to test out the new Facebook Time line on. Even though I have been using it for sometime lots of people have loved being able to take it up now. Once you learn how to use the new timeline for both business and pleasure you will all be away laughing … as we say here. It’s fantastic, just take your time to learn it and how to use it. So if you want to visit my post on the Facebook Masterclass then go on over and check it out.

Add Facebook Comments to WordPress

Add Facebook Comments to WordPress

How to Add Facebook Comments to WordPress is probably one of the main searches I get into my blog everyday. I already have a post on the subject, only thing is it’s abit complicated for some to do so I thought I would re-do the post using this way, as it is so much easier and I am sure you will be able to follow it much better.

I am not a great fan with wanting to Add Facebook comments to my WordPress blog and the reason is four-fold: ( can you do four-fold?)

1. Some people seem to think they have a right to drop their silly links and comments that have nothing to do with anything and you don’t actually get notified when people do that, unlike WordPress comments which you can set for moderation before they go live. So you can have something there, in your comments for quite a while and not know it. I have had it happen where someone put links in to several different affiliate products they had, I was steaming mad :-) anyway I unfriended them and sent them a note. They have not done it again. So one needs to keep that little issue in mind…

2. There is too much noise, as I call it when you add in Facebook Comments to wordpress. By that I mean, when people look at Facebook comments on your blog they might think… “they have an interesting picture wonder who they are” – and before you know it they are off to that persons profile or fanpage and never to return.. so you need to be aware that adding Facebook comments is a great idea but it does have its issues in taking people off your blog and off somewhere else where you may not be…

 3.  If you use the Facebook comments plugin that I show you in the video you have to add it manually to each post. I like that idea as I don’t always want the comments on every post or page. I want to be selective and when I want to really promote something then I will add the comments, and also if I have a subject that I know is going to get lots of response then I will add it to that as well. So it’s a good idea to pick and choose where you want to add those special Facebook comments.

4. This is something really important to remember, that is the more comments you have the longer your page will take to load, so that’s why a good idea to keep and eye on the loading speed and also a good idea if the comments are long to take it from 8 comments as I show on video to even less than that. So keep and eye on it.

Add Facebook Comments to WordPress the fast way

The way I show you in the video is the fast way to add Facebook comments to WordPress as you do not have to create a complicated app as you do for the WordPress plugins, it’s really quick and easy this way.

As mentioned earlier not many people like to create apps it’s all too hard and scary and some think they might break the system if they try to do it. So if you follow these easy instructions you will have it done in no time. Of course you can use the code in an HTML site as well… and also in your Fanpage after all it’s just HTML code isn’t it.

It’s a great idea to Add Facebook Comments to your WordPress site as it can create really good buzz around your post. Don’t forget if you use the comments well then people will leave a comment and then that comment will show up on the persons news feed and that is a good thing.

So check it out, see how it goes, and don’t forget this important thing:

If you want  comments on every post then you will need to add the code each time to each post. If you don’t want to do that manually then you will need to use the WordPress Facebook Plugin, that will do it automatically. I have done another post on using the WordPress Plugin and you will find it here How to add Facebook Comments to your site.

Facebook Masterclass Webinar

Facebook Masterclass Webinar

This is a replay of the Facebook Masterclass Webinar I had recently.

In the webinar I gave a run down on how to use the following:

  • Lists
  • New Timeline
  • How to share
  • New Timeline Profile settings
  • Birthdays
  • Where to get your new profile

Here is a link I gave out on the webinar where you can go see how to get your new Profile like I have on mine. Which I pointed out on the Facebook Masterclass Webinar you won’t see unless you have the new one as well. I love the new timeline profile. So click on this link and you will get the information to help you set up your new profile.

It’s a great new tool the timeline and those of you who market online using Facebook will love what you are able to achieve with it. Even the ability to have a bigger profile picture at the top of your facebook is fantastic and if you think outside the box I am sure you will come up with some great ways to use it to promote whatever it is you want to promote. The sharing options now are many so check out the video below as I show you great ways to share content on your Facebook and on your friends, or Groups or your own Fanpages, this is brilliant and helps you with not having to come up with your own new content each day. Just check out the Facebook Masterclass Webinar video below and you will see what I am talking about.

 

Facebook Masterclass Webinar also showed 7 Security Rules People Break

7 Things to never reveal on Facebook

  • #1. Revealing your complete Birth Date
  • #2. Announcing your away
  • #3. Using an obvious password ( remember your birthday)
  • #4. Overlooking the privacy controls
  • #5. Not thinking before you post
  • #6. Failing to use the private message section
  • #7. Mentioning the names of your kids under 13

I suggest you go check your security settings right now and make sure you and your family are safe.

There is great content in the video so I suggest you watch it and learn I am sure you will learn heaps.

We then went on to discuss Fanpages and why you need one and also who needs a fanpage… Of course everyone needs one. If you are marketing online then you need a presence on Facebook not just to have a profile but also to have Fanpages. I show all that on the video as well.

I also talked alot about the amazing software that we have got now to build Fanpages. Quickfanpages is the best software out there on the market. I have bought almost everything on the market trying to find the software that is the following:

  • Easy
  • Simple
  • Fast
  • No Coding
  • No big long forms to fill out
  • No having to get App ID’s etc

I have another blog post on Quick Fanpages so if you want to know more then please go on over to the Quick Fanpage post.

Please go through the video and check out the info there. I had amazing responses from people who were on the call. You can go over here to the Fanpage and read the comments there about the webinar. If you have not been on the Fanpage yet then best to come on over to QuickfanpagesPage

Here is the video below… enjoy and please leave a comment or share it all out there… I appreciate that when you do it. I give you heaps of great info be awesome for you to pay it forward :-)

Changes in Facebook

By 3 Comments

Changes in Facebook

There have been many changes in Facebook, I will be the first to say that, I have found them to be the best changes in going forward with Facebook. I know some are not too happy with the changes in Facebook and have gone on over to Google Plus or nothing at all… then the other side is we get to spend too much time now on Facebook keeping up with whats happening, the pictures look better, the time lines are very cool, the way you can now setup your cover picture is also amazzzzing.

So all in all I think the changes in Facebook are for the better and I find it hard to remember the way it used to be now. I can find an answer to that by visiting my iPad which does not seem to have updated itself as yet.

I am going to be hosting a Webinar this week that looks at all the changes and shows you how you can use them to your advantage.

Rather than run away from your favourite Social Media embrace it and use it like you have never used it before. It really is better, although there are something you need to look out for… Some security issues you need to be aware of, making sure you keep yourself and your family safe is very important. We will cover those issues in the webinar.

I will also show you how you can get your new Facebook Timeline if that has not become automatic by then as it should be, I think there are a few issues there to be sorted out.

Are The Changes in Facebook Great for Marketing?

I will show you how the changes in Facebook are to your advantage if you are wanting to use Facebook for your marketing Online. How it’s even better now and how it will get even better. If you are not marketing yourself, your business, or your product on Facebook then you need to hope to it and start. Now is the time. If you have a Fanpage then you need to be Marketing that. It should be on your cards, your car, any sort of advertising that you do. You want people to follow you… I will talk about that more on the webinar… but you can take a look at my Fanpage and “Like” me and see what happens, go through the process. Follow me at Quick Fanpages Page

There are 4 things one needs to do when Marketing in Facebook and I will also show you these on the Facebook Masterclass Webinar as well. I will also talk to you about what to say and what not to say on both your profile and your Fanpage…

I will also reveal the big mistake that over 90% of people make when marketing with Facebook and doing it this way will harm your chances of making money on Facebook and also keeping peoples interest…

The time is right for marketing on Facebook, I believe it’s the best time ever, even better than 6 months ago as the software available for you to do the marketing is so much better than it ever was. Everyone who has a business, a product or a brand needs to have some sort of Internet presence and right now the cheapest way is in Facebook. It is not the only way and in time may not be the best but it is certainly needed as part of your Online strategy.

I will show you some great ways to market using Fanpages on the webinar.

The Changes in Facebook will go on and on…

I am really glad about that as we know that we live in a world that is always moving forward, are Facebook finished with the changes, no … not likely there are many more coming I am sure, next will be some changes to Business Pages/Fanpages there are some changes coming. The thing is if you are going to use the 3rd party product, as Facebook is then you are subject to their rules, if you don’t want to be then you need to move away from Facebook and use your Website only and just use Facebook to drive traffic to your site from just your profile. That has worked for a long time for me, and still does work, as I use lists and did from the start. Using lists in Facebook is very important… I will also show you more about that on the webinar.

Anyway enough, please be on the webinar with me, love to have you there and let me show you how you can use Facebook to return a great income to you if you want it. It’s there for the taking. I know others say that, and make these big promises well I’m not going to make big fat promises that in no way can come true… but you can and will make money if you watch what I do and do as I say :-)

I have done other posts on Facebook and some of the changes you can check them out here at Facebook Enhancements
